GODS,

following from the Chines Government The Peking Gazette translates the Gazette:

The Bureau of Ceremony has qubraithe to the President a memorial on the sug gestion of the Chiang Chun of Cheking to be adopted in connection with the for a more imposing sacrificial ceremony worship of War Gods, Kuan and Yueh, and that other canonized historical heroes be added to the Temple of fame.

On the 8th day of the 4th month of this your this Bursu received a despatch from the Cheng Shih Tung embodying a memorial from Chu Jui, Chiang Chun of Chekiang, in connection with the worship- of War Gods, and ordering that a doct sion be made by this Bureau regarding same. Tang Dynasty: a temple was built for In the memorial it is stated: "In the

Chiang Shang (a great. General of Chow Dynasty), who was then worshipped under the title Wuchengwang, and received as much respect as did Confucius. But under the Ming Dynasty this Temple abolished, and the martial spirit was not cultivated and encouraged.. In Ching Dynasty there was a revival of the wor ship of the War God, Kuan Yu Should! the Government show any difference between the civil and military heroes, the to people will become weaker and weaker,

It will be remembered that the step! taken by the Tang Dynasty to worship Ching Shang was very much criticised in introduced the worship of Kuan Yu and learned circles. When the Government

Yuch Foi, it did not incan to place these heroes on the same fooling as Confucius, although the citizens of this country have paid great respect to them. In the 33rd Year of Kuang Hsu it was decided that in the worship of Confucius the Grand Sacrifice should be employed, and in the 3rd Year of Hsien Feng it was decreed that the Middle Sacrifice should be used in the worship of Kuan Yu. When this Bureau decided on the mode of worship we based our decisions on the established precedents In the Ming Dynasty it was decided that in the worship of Heaven and Confucius, the worshipper should kneel down four times; but according to general rule in the worship of any spirit or deity there should be two kneelings." Therefore, this Bureau has decided that. the procedure should not be changed. In the worship of Confucius there are eight rows of dampers, but in the worship of Kuan and Yuch only six rows. There are also some other differences, but we. could not deviate from precedents. We must point our that in the late régime the Emperor never attended personally to the worship. of Kuan Yu, but now we have decided that the President should proceed personally in his capacity as Commander-in-Chief of the Army and Navy

to the

Temple of the War Gods to worship. This shows that both the Sage and the War Gods are to be respected by all the citizens of this country from the President down to the meanest per- sons. Therefore, there is practically no difference in the worship, nor any tendency to discourage the martial spirit of the people. We would point wat further that as Kuan Yu and Yuch Fe were fond of reading Chun Chin (Records of Chow Dynasty edited by Confucius), they were really disciples of the Sage.

The memorial goes on
